GBTerrible e-visa system lead me to loseā¦ Terrible e-visa system lead me to lose my flight. Calls to London office yielded nothing, in the end I lost funds for my airline ticket. I should have been at Mombasa enjoying my holiday now. Ridiculous..Thankfully, Morocco does not ask for visa from British people, so I am instead heading there tomorrow!!

USTotal bust 3 years in a row Total bust 3 years in a row. As of 1/1/2021, there isn't even a choice - you must have an eVisa prior to boarding. The 10 page application ranges from absurd to torturous. Be prepared to provide continent, country, and full 'land address' as separate fields, names of your spouse's parents, even if deceased, etc. On one page you state that you are staying with friends and relatives and provide their address, only to be required to attach hotel booking proof on the next. Attachments must be .jpg under 250kB in size so they need to be scaled, and be prepared that .PDFs of flight itineraries will have to be turned into .jpgs, no easy feat unless you have Acrobat loaded. The grand finally is the payment process that usually hangs up because of security concerns by my CC or payment receipt issues on the Kenyan side once security hurdles are overcome. The cherry on top of this layercake is that the eVisa may not be generated on time or at all. Two times out of 3 had to go through this mess again upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta after a gruelling flight. They really must not want me in their country. Others in the passport control line mirrored my sentiments, so at least I know my experience isn't isolated.

BECatastrophic - not to be trusted Catastrophic. So far it looks like a scam as I was sent the previous visa I applied for in October instead of the actual one I paid for this current trip. Ok should not have trusted and re-read carefully the attached document instead of trusting blindly. As bad as can be. I arrived without a visa, had to re-apply, wasted time and money upon arrival on Wednesday. Sent a complaint mail earlier today and awaiting feedback.

GBThe visa we'd completed here said not completed at all! We deliberately arranged our visas in advance, specifically for myself, as my new wife's couldn't be done till after our wedding day, 16th July. We reached Kenya after a long day's travelling, only to find there was no record of mine, although I'd already paid for it- really not impressed. I expect a full refund of the money paid.

USWe did not need to buy this service The service took 3 days regardless of how much I paid for 1-day turnaround. As it turns out Kenya has on-site visas for less than $60 US. The international agent laughed at me for buying these visas. The information was listed in his computer, so the application was complete; but I did not know it was complete until I was at the border.
